yeah 4 ounce gloves in the UFC. I think CM needs to train with some other team. He's one dimensional like a lot guys with power they depend on one shot. when that doesn't work its over. Puts everything into those punches when they don't land he's not balanced. I don't think he threw many kicks and the ones he threw were wheel kicks and flashy shit. He uses a lot of energy looking for highlight reel KO's. I believe he threw one leg kick, he should've watched the RDA vs Diaz fight, RDA killed him with leg kicks. If McGregor fights like that against Edgar he fucked he has no chance. Edgar has superior boxing, good wrestling, and he's tough you won't see him quit. Aldo's done no more juice. If the ufc gives anybody else that fight im gonna start watchin wwe instead it would be less scripted than the ufc.

"in a fight to the death with no clock I feel a take down doesn't matter the man that is most efficient wins" Conor McGregor. In a fight to the death as he likes to say, there is no tapping out. Holly Holm didn't twice. McGregor quit with the first good shot of the second round dove on the ground, gave up the mount, rolled to his stomach, lifted his chin and tapped quickly. He didn't try to defend the hands nothing. That's something that cannot be fixed in training, you have it or you don't. I think he lost before he stepped in the cage personally.

Sounds like the fador thing I bet they bet on the other guy and take the easy fall so they can bank.

On thinking about the McGregor fight, he did not land a lot of clean blows. None of the wheel kicks and not many punches. Very tiring to miss big power punches, which is what he was throwing. Trying for a 1st round ko.
Gassed by the second round and not showing good defense. He was hesitant to close the distance as Diaz had better reach and a quick jab.
If there is ever a rematch or Mac fights someone with the same or better reach I think he will be better prepared. He has fought fighters that were smaller than him all along. Nate did not weigh more but that reach bothered him. I think Conor would have rocked Nate at some point but wore himself out in the 1st and poor defense led to the loss.

Still pumped from the 196 fights. I was the only guy in the bar pulling for Tate and Diaz. I like McGregor and all, but not in the least bit impressed with the shit talking. He's got balls, I'll give him that!
Pretty happy to see Erick Silva get knocked the fuck out after the cheap shot. What an asshole!

He has no ground game. Maybe the most important part off mma. Mendez was beating him on short notice. He's getting shit now because of the way he carried himself. Talked a lot about the people he was fighting, their families, and every fighter in the UFC. He is the game I'm makin this much money. The way Dana White treated him and spun shit didn't help either. When RDA got hurt ufc said they offered the fight to Aldo and Edgar and they both turned it down. Forget about injuries for those two, what Dana forgot to mention was the fight would be at 155 because CM couldn't get down to 145. If aldo or edgar took the fight and won CM would still be the FW champion. Whats the point in that? When you add all together its natural for people to question if he's legit or not
That was a piece of shit move. he wont be around long. The new drug testing will weed people out

^^ Yea, diaz would survive being rocked like that, have seen him do it before. He lies on his back and rests up. Mac just gave up at the end, pretty clear. No idea why?
Still, my idea that Mac has the power to ko Diaz is still in my head. He tagged Diaz clean a few times but those were at the extreme end of his reach and not his best power punch at all.
Mac has some work to do if wants to fight bigger guys, hell even if he fights the flyweights he needs to work on the ground game.

CM DID NOT GAS OUT. It wasn't about being efficient. All that shit is nonsense. The instant Diaz started tagging him in the chin the fight changed. Diaz squared him up with a left hand and Conor lost his legs. After that Conor started getting lit up and shot for a take down...the rest is history. That gassed out, and not being efficient with his energy stuff is ridiculous. CM edged Nate out in the first and was completely in the fight in round 2 until that straight left. The fight boiled down to the fact that CM couldn't hurt Nate....but turns out "no power" Diaz badly hurt McGregor. If Conor wouldn't have shot in and got choked the fuck out he was about to get knocked the fuck out.

The lack of knowledge in a thread filled with armchair experts is hilarious..
Lauzon called it exactly how it went the day of the fight. You're 100% wrong.

bro you were the most wrong of anyone going in. you were claiming conor was gonna destroy nate lol. quite the armchair expert yourself. EARTH TO PADAWAN ...THE FIGHT ENDED IN THE 2ND ROUND. cardio was not a factor. watch the fight again. i've watched it several times. 2nd round starts. he looks fresh, gets tagged in the chin, not so fresh.

99% of people thought McGregor was going to win, wtf are you smoking? Jon Anik wagered a tattoo he was so confident and the guy calls fights for a living. Predicting the outcome of a single fight wrong makes me and everybody else in the world "the most wrong"? Put the crack pipe down, son..
If you think adding more than 10lbs onto your frame with less than 2 weeks notice, never having fought in the LW, let alone the WW division in the UFC before won't do anything to your cardio, you are an idiot. There is no kind way to say it. You don't know a goddamn thing about conditioning or the human body. Nate came into the fight at 180lbs, McGregor came in at 168lbs and gassed at the end of the 1st round, then Nate caught him with the right, left combination and rattled him and kept the pressure up til McGregor shot for the takedown. He was dazed as well as gassed and had a dude 12lbs heavier on top and Nate is a black belt in jujitsu
